Starting from a peripheral perspective of everyday life, how can we create a sense of safety for people during their daily use of public transportation? How can we encourage people to live more consciously each day and become more aware of their own emotions?

By observing the dense traces of chewing gum residue around subway doors, this project re-examines overlooked marks of daily life and explores how environment and perception can be shaped to foster a more positive way of living.
